If you opt in you will gain access to use this update in your games and publish it before other people can. Either way, you will have to wait until January / February to use it.

Donā€™t take my word for that though. Just a prediction.

Long story short, you will be able to publish this update to show it off before everyone else.

In other words, you get to flex.

That method still doesnā€™t look to great unfortunately, and it just causes more lag. And if you union it to decrease lag, these methods just donā€™t really look great.

Well unfortunately, until we get these beautiful new materials, this is the only method (other than texturing) I know that lets you create custom, decent looking materials. They do appear to have a lot more cons than pros.

This sounds pretty cool. Iā€™ve always felt the materials on ROBLOX were quite limiting. Would love to opt in!

Oh my! Thats amazing! Itā€™s another level.

Amazing news! But I have a question, will the old materials be removed or will there be a way to use them still?

From what I heard, the old materials are here to stay.

Iā€™m not sure if this is too closely related to refined Iron, but I have always wanted a chrome material. Also, Iā€™m not sure if a gold material was mentioned, but if not, a new gold material would be amazing. I didnā€™t read the list thoroughly, so if these are already in the list, please let me know.

There are a few sentences in the original post which donā€™t exactly fill me with confidence that this is the case, but I really do hope that Roblox keeps the current materials available to both preserve existing content and allow the 2014 Roblox style to continue to exist.

I hope that they upgrade the original materials with PBR. As much as I love the old Roblox materials, I would love to see them in PBR.

Perhaps there could be a way to get the new, revamped versions (if there were any) AND the old materials. This way, youā€™d have a choice for your build style.
